ti6c observations during the voyage.
"M. Mallet twice became partially
su1ocated and fell into syncope. he
had to be revived by strong cordials.
His hands and feet became black, and
he says his head felt like drum with a
drummer boy beating upon it.
"Capt. Jovis says that at one time he
hoped to reach an altitude of 5000 metres
but want of ballast prevented his getting
higher than 1000 metres. All the in.
struments are self recording and are
sealed up, so that no scientific details are
obtainable until they are unsealed when
they reach Paris"
This is an extraordinary altitude to
reach, and will compare not very unfav.
orably with the highest levels ever
reached by aeronauts. On September s,
1862, Messrs. Glaisher and coxwell made
their famous ascent from Wolverhampton,
England, in which the greatest height
known to have been ever attained by
man was accomplished. The maximum
elevation was not exactly observed, be.

But when the last observation was taken

and was then ascending at the rate of
1000 feet per minute. Thirteen minutes
later, when Mr.. Glaisher was able to re-.
sumo observations, the balloon was de-
scending very rapidly. But the most
probable inference is that it attained the
height of 81, 900 feet, or seven miles.

Paid For His Dinner.

Lovers of dogs will be interested in the
following true story: A lady was visiting
friends at the seaside where there was a
fine dog whose master was in the habit
of giving him money every day to buy
meat for dinner from the butchers cart.
The lady admiring the handsome, intelli.
gent animal, called him to her as she sat
at breakfast, and fed him from her plate.
The dog at once went to his master, and,
standing on his hind legs, paved and
scratched at the gentleman's breast.

understand, and ordered him away; but,
the creature persisting, he finally said.
"Well, do believe he wants his money"
and offered him coin, which the dog
instantly took, and trottipg up to the
friendly visitor, deposited it in her lap,
with wag of his tail and look which
seemed to say, "I always pay the butcher,
and why not you?"

What Became of the Hero of Fort
Sumter,

Maj. Anderson, after the surrender Of
Fort Sumter, was appointed a brigadier
general in the regular army, and sent to
command the department of Kentucky.
The State was then in doubt whether to
become Union or non union. Gen. An
derson was averse to the action which
was liable to irritate its population and
found himself constantly between two
fires. The unpleasant responsibility of
his position and his i'll health induced
him to turn over the command to Gen.
eral Sherman. Anderson never took an
active part in the war afterward. In
1870 he went abroad in search of health,
but failed to find it. He died October
26. 1871.
